Planet Express Logo (Futurama)

I’ve got strange habits to fall asleep at night. I personally like to have a movie or tv show I’m really familiar with running to fall asleep to. In college I had a VHS tape(!) of Blade Runner that I would play every, single, night, to fall asleep to. If I assume I made it about halfway through before I fell asleep on average (sometimes I started it at a random point in the middle), that means I have seen Bladerunner about 700 times (give or take about 50) so far!

So, in honor of my 5th (!!!) time watching the entire series all the way through, I decided to whip up a Planet Express logo based on the one shown in Season 1 Episode 2 “The Series Has Landed”.

Planet Express: Our crew is replaceable. Your package isn’t.

The original logo as shown in the show was not perfectly round, so I assumed that was the intent. I also had to fudge a bit in finding a font to match (searching online didn’t turn up any ideas on what it might be closest to). I went with “Franklin Gothic Heavy” as the closest match, then tweaked locations to get it to fit as well as possible.
